EXPERIENCE HIGHLIGHTS

PANKL AEROSPACE SYSTEMS, Cerritos, CA, Summer of 2017

Aerospace Engineer Intern

Acquired and applied knowledge of aerospace engineering methodologies to enhance available resources

Key Accomplishments:

Researched the standardization of VTC machines to efficiently align default centerlines and improve efficiency

Produced CAD models of turning chuck jaws using NX 11 to improve functionality

Designed and developed hob and grinding setup sheets

Developed Understanding of technical drawing interpretation (GD&T per ASME Y14.5)

TECHNICAL PROJECTS

UCLA AEROSPACE DESIGN BUILD LAUNCH COMEPTITION, Spring 2017

Role: CAD and Manufacturing

Participated in the design efforts of “Space Queen” rocket which included 3-D CAD modeling, Testing, and Trajectory / CFD analysis which enabled Space Queen to successfully ascend to 1996 feet and land with an undamaged egg in nosecone. Space queen became the “winning” rocket for the project.

Key Accomplishments:

Implemented chosen design characteristics for the nosecone and fin tube using SolidWorks

Conducted research on most viable design parameters through ANSYS Fluent

Created a numerical model to estimate deflection of control fins on the rocket under 20g inertial loads using Euler equations and optimized design for mass and structural rigidity.

Final design was CNC machined (using Mill, Lathe and Drills) and tested in the wind tunnel, which showed 15% improvement in fatigue life performance.

UCLA ROCKET PROJECT, September 2015 – June 2017

Designed the wooden bulkhead and some subassemblies of the body tube using Solidworks

Executed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis on rocket airframe using ANSYS

Manufactured body tubes via carbon-fiber layup
